Tok Mun wants another shot
KUALA TERENGGANU: Maimun Yusof, 89, the oldest candidate in the 12th general election, will not be deterred from contesting again despite losing her deposit.
Tok Mun, as the grandmother is fondly called, said if her health permitted, she would contest to voice out matters that she felt had to be put right.
“If I have enough money and meet all regulations, I will try again,” she said.
Maimun lost her deposit in the contest for the Kuala Tereng-
ganu parliamentary seat, polling
only 685 votes in a three-cornered fight.
The seat was won by Barisan Nasional’s Datuk Razali Ismail, who garnered 32,562 votes over PAS vice-president Mohamad Sabu’s 31,934.
